Henrietta wants me to go to church on Sunday

She wants me to go out and find a steady job
F                                             C
Henrietta don’t want my friends coming by and see me

he says I’m always dressed like some kind of slob

No, no, Henrietta, I’m not playing your game.

                 F        C
I just can’t be something that I’m not.
             F                       C
No, no, Henrietta it’s just not the same,
   G                                            C
no matter what we’ve got, ’bout time we made a change.

Henrietta really thinks that she’s got me figured,
F                                        C
she thinks I’m gonna do everything she’d say.
F                                 C
Henrietta, I thought you knew me better.
      G                                C
Well listen here Honey, there ain’t no way.
